1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundMechanical ventilation is an essential means of life support for patients with severe burns. However, prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) increases the incidence of complications and length of hospital stay. Therefore, studying the risk factors of mechanical ventilation duration is of great significance for reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation, reducing related complications, and improving the success rate of severe burn treatment.

methodThis study was a retrospective study of patients with burns ≥30% of the area admitted to the BICU of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital affiliated with Jinan University from January 2016 to January 2023 who were mechanically ventilated. Patients were classified into the prolonged mechanical ventilation group if they were mechanically ventilated for ≥21 days. Then, independent risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation were determined by logistic regression analysis of the collected data.

resultOf all the 112 enrolled patients, 79 had prolonged mechanical ventilation, with an incidence of 70.5%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that including abbreviated burn severity index (ABSI%) (P < 0.001), moderate and severe inhalation injury (P = 0.005, P = 0.044), albumin (P = 0.032), lactic acid (P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation. In addition, ventilator-related complications were 44% in the PMV group and 21% in the non-PMV group.

conclusionABSI%, inhalation injury, albumin, and lactic acid on admission are the risk factors for PMV in severe burn patients. In addition, ventilator-related complications were higher in group PMV than in group non-PMV in our study.
